CrowdStrike Named 2026 Global Leader in Zero Trust Browser Security

The browser has become the primary workspace for the modern enterprise, and also its most exposed attack surface. As SaaS, generative AI tools, and unmanaged devices reshape how work gets done, adversaries increasingly target the browser to steal credentials, hijack sessions, and exfiltrate data. Zero Trust Browser Security has emerged as a critical control layer for CIOs and CISOs who need to protect users without slowing them down.

What was announced

CrowdStrike has been named the 2026 Global Enabling Technology Leader in Zero Trust Browser Security by Frost & Sullivan. The recognition highlights CrowdStrike's approach to unifying endpoint, identity, and browser telemetry within the AI-native Falcon platform, enabling organizations to secure any browser on any device from a single console.

Frost & Sullivan awards the Enabling Technology Leadership recognition to companies that develop pioneering technology that not only enhances current products, but also enables the development of new services and applications.

The browser is where modern work happens and where modern attacks land. CrowdStrike is redefining browser security as a native extension of the Falcon platform, giving customers visibility and control over one of the last remaining blind spots

Why this matters

For CIOs, CISOs, and IT procurement leaders, the shift to browser-centric work has outpaced traditional endpoint and network controls. Shadow SaaS, generative AI copilots, contractor devices, and BYOD scenarios all converge in the browser. Legacy approaches, such as isolated browsers or standalone secure web gateways, add cost and friction without closing the identity and data protection gap.

CrowdStrike's Zero Trust Browser Security capability directly addresses this challenge by combining real-time threat intelligence, identity signals, and behavioral analytics with policy enforcement inside the browser session itself. This reduces tool sprawl, consolidates vendor spend, and gives security teams a single operational view.

Technical details

• Platform integration: Zero Trust Browser Security is delivered as part of the AI-native Falcon platform, using a single agent and console.
• Identity-aware controls: Session policies leverage Falcon Identity Protection to detect and block credential theft, session hijacking, and risky sign-ins.
• Data loss prevention: Granular controls for copy, paste, download, upload, screenshot, and print actions across managed and unmanaged devices.
• GenAI governance: Visibility and policy enforcement for interactions with generative AI applications to prevent sensitive data exposure.
• Unmanaged device coverage: Secure access to corporate SaaS from contractor, partner, and BYOD endpoints without deploying full endpoint agents.
• Threat intelligence: Enriched by CrowdStrike Falcon Intelligence and Charlotte AI for autonomous detection and response.
